I’m migrating from v5.4 to v6.4, staying in classic mode. The following draws a border around the world map in v5.4, but not in v6.4. It’s the -Bpz1 that does this. How can I get v6.4 to include this?

```auto
ver=`gmt --version`

gmt pscoast -Dc -Rg -JN0/27 -S255/255/255 -G155/200/155 \
    -N1 -W0.75p -Bpz1 \
    -B+t"This is the map for v$ver" --MAP_TITLE_OFFSET=1.2 \
    -K -X0.5 -Y3.85 -A10000 --FONT_TITLE=24p > ${ver}img.ps

convert -trim -flatten -density 300 -rotate 90 -geometry 20% ${ver}img.ps ${ver}img.png

```

`-Bwesn+t"This is the map for v$(gmt --version)"` seems working

```auto
gmt coast -Dc -Rg -JN0/27 -S255/255/255 -G155/200/155 -N1 -W0.75p -Bwesn+t"This is the map for v$(gmt --version)" -A10000 --FONT_TITLE=24p -png quick

```

If you can avoid, **DON’t**. Update to latest (6.5).

Out of laziness, this is a one-liner modern mode but the detail is is **-Ba**

```auto
gmt pscoast -Rg -JN0/27 -S255/255/255 -G155/200/155 -N1 -W0.75p -A10000 -Ba -png lixo

```

Also, _don’t_. Use `psconvert` instead.

`-Ba` produces annotated frame:
